When you're travelling, the 'V' key moves you southwest -- unless you're on top of a city. Oddly, I seem to leave most cities to the southwest. I hit 'V' and *pop*, I'm back in the city. A very small annoyance, but it makes me feel stupid. I would be pleased to kick in an additional contribution to The Island to have this annoyance removed.

What is your 'small thing' which you would most like to see changed?

That used to be the numbers on the side of the keyboard, N was 8, E was 6, W 4, S 2.
I happened to like that version a lot better, because the letters on the keyboard are slanted, unlike those numbers.

What would really be cool, would be an option to set it to numbers or letters, though a sort of similar thing has been discussed before, where you could set your hotkey letters.
Still, they'd be neat.

As for something I might add... The ability to take dwelling keys back from people, maybe? Not sure.
I think I'd rather have more little quests like Mr. Stern's quest. Just to go visit Outposts and explore new things and such.

Well, since you asked... I would really like to see the asterisks on the Console skin removed; they're the only thing stopping me from using it all the time. They're ugly and kind of pointless when the header is bolded anyway...

Yeah, that's why we don't use the number keys for world map movement any more - an awful lot of people play on laptops or phones. (also it was messing with blind people - since screen readers don't usually announce the formatting, the player would assume the number represented some sort of value for distance or turns or whatever, and it got horribly confusing for all involved)

Oh, go on then. Since I'm granting wishes anyway. Also, font size ensmallened so that it doesn't look quite so much like arse on Linux.

Oh my goodness. Can't say I at all expected that. Thank you! I think it looks much better now.

Also, and not to be insensitive, but: blind people play? That's... pretty awesome, actually.

Yup. That's why we've got those two "Accessible" skins that look like absolute shite - they're formatted for screen readers. Also why the Clatter machine tells you in text what it's doing, as well as in pictures. Also in your Preferences you'll find options for enabling blind-player output - a lot of it's pretty beta and shaky, but it works.

Ah- I always wondered what those were for. Now I know! G I Jooooe

Now, this isn't a request, or a prod to hurry it up or anything (really, I understand that seemingly simple things can be a beast to do on the backend), but I heard (I forget from who, honestly) that you're waiting for the new trains module before putting trading back in. So as long as you're around is that true? Maybe an ETA? Because my card case's got two hundred cards in it I swear
